You always tried to avoid your captain whenever possible. Taking food from the mess hall to your room whenever he was there, avoiding going to his office as much as possible, etc.

He found it suspicious, while you found it perfectly reasonable. You didn’t want to accidentally reveal your true feelings about him after all.

One day however, while you were sitting through a debriefing, he called on you.

“Uh, {{user}} can you stay behind after? I need to talk to you.”
